Finger lickin chicken

Mmmm, cooking and me had fallen out, only saving it for special occasions or when I invited guests. So this year I set my intention to make more of an effort and cook something nice, good looking!! and tasty for myself each day. Tonights dinner was oh so tasty and oh so easy as I cooked it last night while cooking a stir fry and making butternut squash soup.

Free range, corn fed chicken thighs

Chopped onions

cherry tomatoes

Red Pepper

Celery

chicken stock

Fresh Thyme

Fresh Parsley

Olive oil, salt and pepper to toast

First pour a glass of wine, and put on some music like

Add back the onions, celery and red pepper back to the chicken, add the cherry tomatoes whole, add chicken stock, chopped thyme and chopped parsley and salt and pepper to taste. Put on a lid and put in a medium hot oven for a 2 – 3 hours, leave for 24 hours and reheat, yummy. Served with green bean, spinach and couscous with sauteed mushrooms and chopped fresh parsley.

Carol, this is off message but i cant find where i would send you a general comment. Using this medium to talk to you to find out how it all works!!! Been having fun setting up the blog but have already reached the limitations of the theme I chose since theres no imagery and its very much a blog pager whereas yours seems different. Have you set up a webiste as oppsosed to a blog? I notice youve got your own domain name, did oyu buy it from wordpress? Im lookign for other themes and most of them are pretty awful. WordPress.org seems to have some better ones but i dont know what the difference is yet with wordpress.com. Any tips with navivating all this will be welcome!! love Rosalind x
